The way I've always dealt with this onslaught of the ephemeral is to a) not watch TV (*especially* the news), and b) not click on any headlines that reek of the depressing and/or idiotic. It's kind of like reading food labels to determine nutritional value. If a headline promises only carcinogens and empty calories, then I'm not buying. Unless, of course, it includes a hot pic of Paris Hilton.
